Reactive Dog Training
If your dog is barking, lunging or struggling to cope around other dogs, people or in busy environments, you're not alone.
Living with a reactive dog is stressful, unpredictable and overwhelming - turning simple walks into something you dread. Whether it's frustration, fear or overstimulation, reactive behaviour is your dogs way of saying they are struggling to cope.
Through clear, structured training and a holistic approach, I help you understand your dogs behaviour and create real lasting change.

My Approach..
I take a holistic, real world approach to reactive dog training - looking at the full picture of your dogs behaviour and not just the symptoms.
This means considering things like environment, exercise, diet, arousal levels, daily routines and how your dog copes day to day, not just in a training session.
There are no quick fixes or one size fits all methods. Everything is tailored to the dog in front of me with a focus on clear communication, structure, fulfilment and building up skills your dog needs to handle the world.
The goal is not to just stop the behaviour, its to create lasting change so your dog can stay calmer, make better decisions and live a better life.
